First of all I wanted to share my excitement about the past 2014. That year was very successful for Brosix – we tripled the number of users we serve all around the world. We are so proud to be able to serve so many people.

Control Panel improvements to give the customers more control over their networks

We also upgraded our infrastructure architecture in a way that allows us to grow the network.

In the next months we will focus our energy on:

Mobile development – We plan to renew our mobile applications to make them even more comfortable.

New Chat Rooms – Brosix Chat Rooms is a great feature. When we started to plan it some years ago, we designed several types ot chat rooms. We have started with the most common chat room type. Now we will go next step and will implement the other chat room types, that will give more flexibility and control to our users.

Control Panel improvements for our Enterprise customers – We will add several new features and control options that will improve productivity in the teams.

We are excited to work on these new features and see the growth of Brosix with many new happy customers. It is a great honor for us to offer the Brosix instant messaging service to so many people. Feel free to share your Brosix experience with us.

The following are some of the key highlights of Brosix 3.6:

The last few weeks of the year have been really busy for our devs as we have been working hard to release Brosix 3.6 and a new improved control panel. All these updates and changes will mean better, faster and smoother experience for users than ever before. The newest Brosix 3.6 update is available to download for Brosix Personal (FREE) users. Enterprise customers will get the update soon.

The following are some of the key highlights of Brosix 3.6:

It includes a much requested and awaited feature called “Persistent Chat Rooms” This enables users to log out from the chat rooms and still get offline messages. Users can see the messages once they get online. This allows users to stay in constant touch with friends and colleagues. It’s a great addition because it lets you catch up with the conversation at any time. You can now leave in between a project meeting if there’s an emergency situation and then get back online to catch up on the proceedings. It takes the experience to a whole new level.

Several bugs have been fixed and ironed out to make the experience better and faster. Tweaks to improve file transfer.

We have updated our themes collection so you can customize your most loved instant messenger. Changing the colors of the IM can be good thing to improve the appearance.
